ELI5: The song Sail from AWOLNATION has an unofficial music video, which has more views on youtube than the original. How are the rights for this video, and the financial aspect?

Top Comment: I am pretty sure their record label would have sent the channel a notice forcing YouTube to give them any royalties the unofficial video is making on behalf of their client...or the channel can either take the video down. Legal Eagle did a video on this which is much more advanced than ELI5, but I can't recall exactly how the mechanism works.

The Financial Diet video on the Try Guys drama
Main Post:
Did anyone get a chance to watch the video that The Financial Diet did on The Try Guys that they published on their YouTube channel today? It seems like they deleted it after a majority of the comments were negative and dragging them.
Chelsea (who does the YouTube videos) had some bad takes and in my opinion was horribly researched. It definitely seemed to capitalize on being in on what everyone is talking about and an “I skimmed the news on that” attitude and decided to add in her two cents. It was also preceded by a horrible sponsorship from a healthcare company.
It seems like they deleted it from their channel but would love to hear other people’s thoughts about it if anyone got a chance to watch it today before it was taken down.
Top Comment: I watched half of it, but didn't really thought she had much insightful or eye opening to say so I stopped watching and figured I might finish watching it later. From what I remember she mostly said that it is in general a bad idea to market/brand your relationship on social media when you're an influencer. Not specifically Ned, but just in generally letting everyone follow every step of the relationship online can lead to extra stress on the relationship and that cheating in such a public relationship adds a whole new layer of humiliation for the partner who has been cheated on. She kind of alluded to the fact that those relationships are doomed to fail, even though she said that that's not necessarily true but it kind of felt like she did believe that. Some comments were saying that they didn't agree that Chelsea said it wasn't traumatic for the guys. (I didn't actually make it to that part of the video so I didn't hear that). On the Financiel Diet's instagram there are still multiple stories up about United Healthcare, so I don't know if possible backlash about that sponsorship was why the YouTube video was deleted.
Good YouTube channels for financial modelling?
Main Post:
Hey guys, I am in the midst of applying jobs at a Big 4 as a TAS role. I've learnt the fundamentals of finance and valuation at my university DCF, IRR etc. However, I dont have much knowledge on financial modelling or even to construct one. I believe by learning financial modelling would really help to attracts employers out there.
I am aware of the various financial courses ie. CFI and WSP etc but as of now, I'd like to learn for free hence I believe Youtube would do great. Could anyone possibly suggest me good Youtube channels to learn further more on financial modelling? Appreciate any suggestions! Cheers

Kahn Academy is a better bet.

Any youtubers worth watching? Most are awful.
Main Post:
Hi all,
The most popular youtubers in the investment community are typically young, early to mid 20s, and the advice they offer is common knowledge, with almost none of it being backed by math and statistical analysis.
Here is an example:
Jeremy from financial education. I’m biased, and I really hate this guy. He doesn’t even offer info that is taught in undergrad finance courses. All of his stock picks are based on common knowledge already built into the price. His only metrics are forward PE and debt to equity on the balance sheet.
Also, Other kids in their early 20s who had some luck making trades.
These guys make far and away more money from their YouTube revenue than from the investment advice they practice.
Are there any youtubers who have a CFA designation, and have years of experience working in an investment bank on Wall Street?
I swear, if a candidate like that started a YouTube channel he could dominate the segment...
Top Comment: The most popular youtubers in the investment community are typically young, early to mid 20s, and the advice they offer is common knowledge, with almost none of it being backed by math and statistical analysis. Ben Felix is the guy you are looking for. All of his videos are full of academic research papers and he usually gives a free link to them. He also has a nice podcast titled "Rational Reminder" that covers the videos in a lot more detail.
Would you pay a financial advisor $1500 to do a financial analysis or go to Planvision By Mark Zoril and pay $149?
Main Post:
The local financial advisor is one of these Dave Ramsey affiliated advisers and he would do an analysis of my assets as well as make a recommendation for how to go forward. I’ve never heard of Planvision before but a Redditor recently told me about it and it sounds interesting. It seems that Bogleheads recommends the service. I’ve never heard of them either but they seem legit. What is your experience with either one of these routes?
Note: I have handled all my investments and I have amassed a decent amount of money but I honestly am not super well-informed on investments/retirement I need some guidance. I just don’t feel like paying somebody 1% of my portfolio per year.
Top Comment: Definitely don't pay a financial advisor with a % of your portfolio. Your options are: A fee only fiduciary financial advisor A bot service like Planvision A free DIY option like https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/ (I am not affiliated) I recommend the third option.
